    Quoted from LTG:

    And yet you have a fine collection that can bring you lots of fun and enjoyment, if you let it.
    Give me two or three guys in a garage playing a High Speed with half the paint worn off and things not all working. Having a beer. Laughing and having a great time with their friends. That is pinball.
    LTG : )

    This is exactly how I started with pinball. My first machine was a high speed that stood in my dad's garage and I fixed it up and played with friend with a beer. Only my high speed was super nice but at that time I bought the machine for 300 euro and it needed some new displays.

    One other thing thats sometimes anoying is moving the machines. I don't have a big enough car and I live on the 2nd floor. It can be an enormous hassle sometimes. Especially eith games like Haunted House. That thing is crazy heavy.
